Description

This Mediterranean style building (ca 1915), once a bakery, is now a huge, open wood framed workspace (11' 6" height) with a Marina style flat above. The handsome facade is white tooled stucco with a red clay tile trim and the original multi-light sashes. This block has very little traffic because it ends at Dolores Park, one block west.
The flat has a spacious combination living and dining room (with fireplace), plus kitchen, all in a 30 feet long front room with many windows. There are two bedrooms and a newly remodeled tile bathroom. The kitchen has been updated with a center island, maple cabinets, and high quality appliances, including a Viking range. There is a washer/dryer in a hall alcove. There are oak floors throughout, and the entire flat is very bright and open.
The workspace has a 9' high garage door, concrete floor, extensive industrial lighting, skylights, and a half bath. The space is bright and open, and ideal for anything from an artist's workspace to a loft type residence. This type of building is common in the South of Market area, but nearly unique in this neighborhood. It was recently owned by a well- regarded plumber, who upgraded the electrical and mechanical systems with circuit breakers, copper supply plumbing, and a newer forced air furnace. He also did seismic upgrades, including a steel frame around the garage door, plywood on the end walls, and bolting. There is a small north facing rear yard. The entire building is occupied by the owner and will be vacated at close of escrow.

Neighborhood

The Dolores Park area is a very desirable residential area well known for its sunny weather, its large handsome park, and the many palm trees lining Dolores Street. A gourmet gulch has developed nearby on 18th Street with Delfina Restaurant (and it's new pizzeria), Tartine Bakery, and the Bi-Rite grocery store. This location has easy access to both the Financial District and the Peninsula.
